Hong Kong: 'As an exile I feel heartbroken'
The teenage activist Tony Chung has been found guilty of desecrating the Chinese national flag and taking part in an unlawful assembly more than 18 months ago. Today also saw the media tycoon Jimmy Lai charged with conspiring with foreign forces under Hong Kong's controversial new security law which was introduced in July.
Ted Hui resigned from the Democratic Party and is currently in exile abroad. He says his bank accounts have been frozen - leaving his family members back in Hong Kong 'in trouble'. He thinks that while resistance remains, it's hard for people to protest in public and the opposition will have to be more careful from now on.
"I don't want to stop fighting because it's simply unjust, but... we have a slogan in the Hong Kong movement, we call it: "be water". We don't want to be sent to jail that easily, because we need to fight on."
